How to Plan an Intimate Beach Wedding
If you book the right venue, you can access the beach and set up a tent to host your guests in comfort. Booking a beachfront venue will give you access to a beach ceremony and a venue party.
A beach ceremony is romantic and stylish. A beach is a happy place with a view of the ocean and a light summer breeze while you declare your wedding vows. The barefoot beach option feels like a holiday.
3. How do you prepare for a beach wedding?
Make sure that you have enough time for preparation. Most weddings can take six to twelve months to plan. Plan your wedding budget to know how much money you have available. Your budget will determine your venue choice, menu, entertainment and details.
Decide on a beachfront wedding venue.
There are a few crucial details to consider when you plan a beach wedding.
- Weather is everything. Make sure you plan for a backup in case the weather turns bad.
- Temperature and humidity. Make sure you have umbrellas to shade your guests.
- Wind Strength and direction. Make plans to shield your ceremony from the wind.
- Possibility of rain. If it starts raining, plan to continue your wedding ceremony under a tent at your venue.
- Accessibility of the location. Make sure the beach is accessible to all your guests.
- Catering and drinks. If your venue offers all in one, discuss all the details to plan your perfect day with the venue team.
- Accommodation. Plan to accommodate all your guests close to your venue. That will avoid driving and late-night travelling.
Booking a beachfront venue with a tent close to the beach will give you the best of both worlds. Summertime is the best time for a beach wedding. Plan your beach wedding day well in advance and keep an eye on the weather.

Your intimate beachfront wedding will be fun and summery.
Plan the following details with your venue team:
- Guests, photographers, and videographers
- Tables, chairs, and a wedding tent
- Music. Does the venue allow live music?

- Snacks for your evening party.
- Lighting. Plan if you are using fairy lights to prepare power sources.

If you host a small beachfront wedding, focus on quality over quantity. You can plan a cocktail menu and a special food menu.
5. Dress Code for your intimate beach wedding
As for the wedding dress code, you can go stylish but keep it simple. If you plan a casual dress code, your guests will feel light and comfortable in the summer climate.
Your wedding outfit can be lightweight fabric. A light fabric wedding dress will float in the wind.
Linen suits look casual and elegant and suit any wedding theme. A stylish bright dress code is fresh and summery, ensuring your guest’s comfort.
Personal Invites to Spoil your guests.
Hosting an intimate wedding allows you to spend a little bit extra on each guest. Create personal invites with a meaningful message to each of your guests.
If your budget allows it, list your favourite sparkling wine, wine and drinks. You can plan delicious snacks. A beach wedding gives you many delicious menu options to pair with your wine list.
6. Make it Entertaining
